It is transmitted by seed and spreads easily via mechanical contact. Peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, and cut-leaf ground cherry are all hosts of the virus. ![]() Though it has not yet been detected in North Carolina, the Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) was first detected and eradicated in the United States in 2018 and its spread is currently being closely monitored by the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS).

Keep in mind that symptoms will vary by strain of virus, age and health of host upon infection, and environmental conditions. The symptoms, hosts, and means of spread of viral diseases that may be problematic in North Carolina are summarized in Table 1. The dense plant spacing, closed environment, and frequent mechanical contact that is inherent to greenhouse tomato production increase the chances of a viral disease outbreak. The amount of loss can vary depending on the virus disease involved, the variety of tomato, the age of the plant at infection time, the temperature during disease development, the presence of other diseases, and the extent that viruses have spread in the planting. Viral diseases of greenhouse tomatoes in North Carolina occasionally cause serious damage and large economic loss. If the child has been vaccinated less than 14 days before the performance, he or she must also provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test for entry.General Information Skip to General Information In New York, the rules have tightened for children and opera-goers: All kids aged 5 to 11 must now show proof of receiving at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to attend a Broadway show and must be accompanied by a vaccinated adult. At “Cabaret,” the rules were even stronger: All attendees, even those fully vaccinated, were required to show a negative COVID-19 test before entering the theater. New rules that took effect this week in London mean that theatregoers have to show a negative coronavirus test or proof of vaccination to be admitted. Shows that remain open fear audiences will stay away after public health authorities warned people to cut back on socializing to help slow the spread of omicron. “It is sadly ironic that we must cancel performances of this brilliantly funny show titled ‘Force Majeure’ because of a… force majeure event,” said artistic director Michael Longhurst.
